Metamorfosis, La

by Franz Kafka

Overview

La metamorfosis, publicada por primera vez en 1915, es una de las obras fundamentales de la ficción del siglo XX. En ella, Franz Kafka nos narra la historia de Gregorio Samsa, quien un buen día se despierta transformado en un insecto. La novela constituye una angustiosa metáfora sobre la angustia del ser, y refleja las inquietudes de su autor respecto a las dificultades que entrañan las relaciones personales, pero también las del ciudadano con la sociedad y con el Estado. El texto de Kafka es una de las obras de ficción más leídas del mundo, y ha influido a escritores de la talla de George Orwell, Albert Camus, Jorge Luis Borges o Ray Bradbury.

About the Author

Franz Kafka was born in 1883 in Prague, where he lived most of his life. During his lifetime, he published only a few short stories, including "The Metamorphosis", "The Judgement", and "The Stoker". He died in 1924, before completing any of his full-length novels. At the end of his life, Kafka asked his lifelong friend and literary executor Max Brod to burn all his unpublished work. Brod overrode those wishes.
